I also would not be surprised if the Court refused to permit Palestine to accept jurisdiction retroactively because of the uncertainty concerning Palestine&#39;s statehood. But it is critically important to avoid assuming that Palestine did not become a state until the UNGA vote. That vote might have been necessary to convince the ICC to permit Palestine to ratify the Rome Statute or to accept the Court&#39;s jurisdiction on an <i>ad hoc</i> basis, but it was not necessary to establish Palestinian statehood. The UNGA doesn&#39;t get to determine who is -- and who is not -- a state. So the Court would also be well within its rights to decide that Palestine was a state prior to the UNGA vote.Kevin Jon Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919420127499638165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700881808806587059.post-26230783920971214052012-11-19T20:11:18.608-05:002012-11-19T20:11:18.608-05:00Thank you!

As an Australian undergraduate law student who first discovered Hilary Charlesworth and then this seminal article, and then the field of transitional justice and wonderful thinkers like Fionnuala,my life was enriched. That article has been like a bread trail to great ideas and thinkers for me. My whole doctoral thesis book was a response to one line in The Boundaries of International Law, applied to the case study of East Timor. The impact on students struggling to articulate a sense of what was missing from the field they loved cannot be overstated. So thank you, from the students. <br />Susan Harris Rimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030355829143179034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700881808806587059.post-63938012786595321962012-10-29T05:37:13.139-04:002012-10-29T05:37:13.139-04:00Great post!

Some a...Thank you for these memories of Louis Sohn. Some are familiar, some are new (I never knew we shared a fondness for science fiction).<br /><br />I always like to describe Louis as one of my engineering professors - he was one of the instructors in a joint Harvard Law-MIT Engineering class in Ocean Engineering and Law. But over time I realized there was more truth than humor in that description because Louis was truly an engineer of international regimes. He approached international political systems with the same respect as an architect of buildings or a designer of bridges, understanding the tensions and strengths and designing legal and political structures to incorporate them. It was Louis who taught me, as an engineer, how to find my place in the development of the deep seabed regime of the law of the sea convention, an opening that led to a lifetime of work on ocean law and policy.<br /><br />The impish smile, the beret and an apple at a working lunch at the UN. They are warm memories and I thank you for refreshing them for me.CaitlynAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058746435233244686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700881808806587059.post-43230741382878926022012-10-26T20:10:38.436-04:002012-10-26T20:10:38.436-04:00Great article on an amazing topic!

As a Xicana Feminist currently living in Guatemala I&#39;m conscious of the dangers of women &quot;here&quot; talking &quot;about&quot; women who are there. <br /><br />One of the main challenges that I am confronting along the lines of engaging and understanding feminist discourse outside of academic walls is the the difficulties of being able to find a space where I am able to draw from both types of scholarships. It is a challenge to access articles and journals once you are no longer part of the elite circle. This dilemma of intellectual property is hindering and exclusive. How are feminist theorists who are members of academic institutions truly exchange, engage, and produce knowledge with theorists who do not belong to these institutions? If by chance, there is an exchange, the discourse is quickly copyrighted and placed in a space where the rest of the world has very little access to. Thus, this creates the very essence a power advantage in regards to the production of knowledge. <br /><br />In the end this only reinforces a hegemonic feminist discourse. A few months ago there was an excellent article in the Economist (again a magazine that few people can afford) on the topic of intellectual rights and the production of research. That being said, sense the introduction of the internet the access to information has immensely increased but the reality is that it is still very limiting for those of us who no longer belong to an academic institution or who never did.

Since this is a forum for International Law students I believe it would be appropriate to remind readers that despite the focus on the finer points of jurisprudence, at the end of the day this was victors justice and similar atrocities by the Allies went unpunished. Take for instance the sinking of hundreds of sampans in Victoria Harbour and Lamma Channel by trigger happy (British) artillery. These were boats with whole families onboard. Or take the Hong Kong Police&#39;s euphemistic phrase that looters were dealt with by &quot;extreme measures&quot; - or of their recruitment of triads to kill fifth columnists (in practice they just executed rivals). And who is to say that the Japanese were not fired on from the Salesian Mission? we know for sure that they WERE fired on from the vicinity of St Stephen&#39;s Hospital because the British had set up their final defense line, replete with machine guns and artillery, behind it. We don&#39;t know the Japanese version because no defense witnesses were produced. Ironically one of the trials was against a Japanese military judge for doing the same thing - not affording a fair defense. We also know from eyewitness accounts that at least one Japanese officer was shot whilst imploring troops to surrender - as ever, the account is euphemistic. <br /><br />Trying generals for command responsibility over specific incidents was something which was never done on the Allied side - then or since. This has always been a fundamental flaw in the Western sense of justice - not to afford ones enemies the rights established for oneself. The notion is that THEY fought to defeat these principles, so they are not entitled to them (other than through lip service to the written word). So in every war, the Allies expect to be treated in accordance with their own principles and will hold the enemy accountable, but do not see the hypocrisy in not affording the enemy the same consideration.<br /><br />In fact nothing much has changed in 70 years.PokfulamHKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931788479961413659noreply@blogger.com
